We lucked out with the weather again. What a great day, biking over 20 miles and enjoying the weather, our city, and each other’s company!

5th, 6th, 7th – Michael Kovnar Mini-Mitzvah Day
5th, 6th, and 7th graders went to two locations in the Milwaukee River basin today to perform a mitzvah: clean up our environment to make the world a better place. After 2 backpacks, a brief case, three softballs, 6 tires, and about 20 trash bags full, I think we did just a little bit today to do our part.
Encourage your student to continue to pick up and clean up our environment.
6th – Sukkah Model

6th – M&M Taxation
To better understand why Colonists were upset with the British system of taxation, we did a little simulation today. Everyone was given a standard amount of M&Ms (what better currency than that). Those within Parliament, the King, and Tax Collector did not have to pay any taxes, but Colonists did.
After 3 rounds of taxations, I thought we would have a riot on our hands in the classroom! I am pretty sure the students learned real quickly why Colonists were update!
